MNK needs overhaul

............

Monk is NOT the lowest DPS; however, monk has the thinnest line between good and bad. They are more than capable of being the highest DPS in the party but its not exactly an easy feat and most people just aren't capable of bringing out the full potential.

You didn't play much of xi if you think monk was the most op. monks were not desired for anything until abyssea came with buffs.

hmmm you are doing something wrong do u move around the target? i usually am the top dps of our party

Monks are fine plz don't make terrible threads talking about something you don't know about. It will lead to important issues not getting addressed, Monks need a few quality of life improvements.

o.O there is a dps meter in the game?

I feel the only thing that needs changing is the buffs. Either longer duration or allow shoulder slam to refresh the duration of self buffs. Either one should help immensely with movement or target switching.

Come back to this conversation when you're 50 because no job is fully fleshed out until then.

Some bosses makes it impossible to attack from behind
According to Parsers, adding in ToD/Demolish/Fracture is a DPS Loss
Fights that require movement, monk ends up useless

Under optimal conditions, where monk can keep GL3 up and able to move back and fort he does highest DPS...but


Why bother when you can just spam 1 macro as Bard and top DPS chart no matter the fight mechanic?

Monks were amazing in Salvage.
